[RTTY] WF1B Problem...

[Jim Martin]

Hi John
Thanks for the tip. Having to use Moslo was the solution to my first problem
but this R/T 216 seems to be a stopper!
One staw that I am clutching at is the old DOS command
mode com1: 9600,n,7,1,p (last used about 10 years ago) would this have any
effect in setting up the port so that WF1B can see it or is this just
another 'poisson rouge'?
One solution which seems to have worked for a lot of people is disabling the
com port in Dev Manager and then restarting it.  This sadly does not work on
my machine!
73 ( and thanks again for all the input )
